N=number of nickels
d=number of dimes
q=number of quarters

example
if n:d=3:8
lets say n=3 and d=8
3*8=8*3
so
8n=3d
slightly confusing but go with it, it migh make sense or it might not


n:d=3:8
8n=3d

d:q=4:5
5d=4q

solve for one of them
solve for nickels in first and quarters in second

8n=3d, n=(3/8)d
5d=4q, (4/5)d=q

5n+10d+25q=690
divide by 5 to make it easeir
n+2d+4q=138
sub (3/8)d for n
sub (4/5)d for q
(3/8)d+2d+5(5/4)d=138
(3/8)d+2d+25/4d=138

3/8+2+25/4=
3/8+16/2+50/8=
69/8

(69/8)d=138
times both sides by 8
69d=1104
divide both sides by 69
d=16

16 dimes
sub back

(5/4)d=q
(5/4)16=q
80/4=q
20=q

(3/8)d=n
(3/8)16=n
48/8=n
6=n



6 nickles
16 dimes
20 quarters

The radius of a circle is 6 inches. What is the area of a sector bounded by a 90° arc?
hjlf

Answer:

[1] Let's make the problem easier to start. Imagine that they had said to find the area of a sector bounded by a 360* arc (the whole circle). Could we have found the area then? 

Sure we could! We know that A = pi*r^2, so that would just be:

A = pi*(6)^2 = 36*pi sq. miles.

Easy. But of course, we weren't so lucky... they want 135*... drat!

[2] Well, let's get a little closer, could we find the area if the angle was 180*? Sure! That's just half the circle. After all:

180*/360* = 1/2.

We know the whole circle is 36*pi sq. miles. So, the area bounded by a 180* arc would just be half of this: 18*pi sq. miles. 

"But that's not the question," you scream!! Alright, alright, calm down... let's bring it all together.

[3] We know the area of the whole circle [1]. We also know that if we can figure out the fraction of the circle the problem is easy [2]. So, what fraction of a circle would match an arc of 135*?

Well, we can see that

135*/360* = 0.375    or    3/8

So the area is just 0.375 of the whole circle:

0.375* 36*pi sq. miles = 13.5*pi sq. miles

A group of 40 children attend a baseball game. Each child received either a hotdog or a bag of popcorn. Hotdogs were $2.25 and p
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

  • 27 hot dogs
  • 13 bags of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

Had all received popcorn, the bill would have been 40×$1.75 = $70. The bill was $13.50 more than that. Each hot dog purchased in place of popcorn adds $0.50 to the bill, so the number of hot dogs must be ...

  $13.50/$0.50 = 27

Of course, the remainder of the 40 items were popcorn, so 13 bags of popcorn.

27 hot dogs and 13 bags of popcorn were purchased.
